Camera Recording
5 Press the Power Zoom buttons to frame
the subject as you desire.
Note: In CARD-CAMERA mode, the zoom will
give magnification of 1–10×.
6 Press the STILL button to record a still
image of the subject.
• The O indicator flashes red while data is
being recorded on the card, and returns
to white when recording is completed.
Notes:
• In CARD-CAMERA mode, the angle of field is
slightly wider than in TAPE-CAMERA or DUAL-
CAMERA mode.
• Recording under insufficient lighting may result
in blurred images. It is recommended that you
use a tripod to record insufficiently illuminated
subjects.
• Recording under the light of a fluorescent,
mercury, or sodium lamp may cause flickering in
the image and, depending on the timing of the
shot, may result in changes to colour hue in the
image.
• It is also possible to record still images on a card
by pressing the CARD REC button on the
infrared remote control.
Caution:
• Do not turn the power off or remove the card
while the O indicator is flashing in step 6,
because this may delete or damage images on
the card.
